Zhuang Cheng is a hundred stone officials, a so-called subordinate, Zhong Tai said that he moved to the left, which is actually equivalent to serving a prison sentence.

Such a person naturally has no dignity in front of Cao Miao, especially when Xiahou Xuan is still on his side. The reason why Zhong Tai can still hold the shelf, on the one hand, is because of his self-esteem, and on the other hand, because he has dealt with Cao Miao before, and knows that Cao Miao is a reasonable person.

But Cao Su was unreasonable.

There was a big fuss in the Taiwei Mansion, which made Sima Yi and Master Sima half dead, but they were confined to this small villa, Cao Su was in a very bad mood, and he wanted wine and food as soon as he sat down. Seeing that Cao Su was vicious, Zhong Tai didn't dare to slack off, and was busy sending people to arrange.

While Zhong Tai was preparing, Cao Miao walked into the arranged courtyard and climbed the small building.

Xiahou Xuan was modest and said that it was a small Zhuangzi, but in fact the scale was not small, at least much larger than the palace of Yongqiu. The architecture is also exquisite, with a few small buildings, hidden in the tall green trees, revealing sharp corners. Standing on the third floor, you can see more than ten miles at a glance.

"How did Zhong Tai become Zhuang Cheng?" Cao Miao asked lightly.

"There are no witnesses, and the evidence is insufficient, so it can only be determined that he spread rumors, but it cannot be determined that he spread rumors. Moving to Zhuang Cheng is already a severe punishment. Xiahou Xuan paused, and then said, "This is Your Majesty's approval." There are many people who spread rumors, and the law does not blame the public, which is why His Majesty was unwilling to investigate in the first place. ”

"Where's Jong-tae's sister?"

"Zhong Tai is fine, can he still sit down? As for Guan Jun, it is still being investigated, and it is estimated that no results can be found. Xiahou Xuan patted the railing lightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Originally, you married the daughter of the Taiwei, and after you became married, you might be able to get some clues from the Taiwei's mouth. Now it seems that I can't count on it. ”

Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Xuan, snorted lightly, and ended the topic. Xiahou Xuan's tone was very tight, and he couldn't say anything famous.

"You know that I'm going to Koto. Give me some advice. Where to start in Koto? I don't have a clue at all, it seems that there is only one way to assassinate Sun Quan. ”

Cao Miao sighed and leaned on the railing, looking melancholy.

Xiahou Xuan looked at Cao Miao for a moment. "Although the assassination of Sun Quan is a fundamental strategy, it is by no means easy. Not to mention that Sun Quan himself has good martial arts, there are two elite battalions around him to relieve troubles and go around the tent, and there are also elites in the palace, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate. This should not be done unless absolutely necessary. ”

"So what can I do?"

"Method...... It's not that it's nothing, it's just ......" Xiahou Xuan hesitated, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, let it go." Cao Miao shouted angrily. "Don't think about it if I beg you."

Xiahou Xuan didn't mind, and sighed faintly. "Yunliang, the world's affairs are actually no different. The problems encountered by my Great Wei are naturally shared by Jiangdong. The difference is only that you are a member of the Great Wei clan, no matter how presumptuous you are, as long as you have a good mind, for the sake of the court, Your Majesty can protect you thoroughly. When you arrive in Jiangdong, you are not a clan, but a spy of the enemy country, and no one can protect you. If you act presumptuously, there is only one way out. ”

Cao Miao was silent. He understood what Xiahou Xuan meant—not only the meaning of the performance, but also the subtext.

Your life and death are in the hands of the Son of Heaven. He protects you, and you can come however you want. He doesn't protect you, he wants your life at any time.

This is a threat from Chiguoguo.

Can this Luoyang still stay? The farther away you run, the better.

Seeing that Cao Miao didn't speak, Xiahou Xuan then persuaded: "If Sun Quan wants to be the emperor, there are two things that must be done. One is outside, and the other is inside. Outside matters are related to military and political affairs, and they are beyond your power. Annai's affairs are related to the Koto clan, and you can do something about this. ”

Cao Miao replied noncommittally, and motioned for Xiahou Xuan to continue.

"At the beginning of this dynasty, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, in order to stabilize Jiangdong, the first emperor once named Sun Quan as the king of Wu. From that moment on, Sun Quan had a heart of disobedience. Although he did not claim the title of emperor, he built his own era name Huangwu. He knew that the Central Plains was rare for a while, and he could only base himself in Jiangdong, so in the first year of Huang Chu, Lu Xun took over from Lu Meng and garrisoned Jingzhou, and in the fifth year of Huang Chu, that is, in the fourth year of Huang Wu, Gu Yong took over as prime minister in exchange for the support of the Jiangdong family. ”

"But the Koto clan is insatiable and wants to monopolize power. The civil and military generals who were not from Jiangdong were excluded and complained a lot. A few years ago, shortly after the death of Gan Ning, a native of Yizhou, his son Gan Pei was convicted. Not long ago, Zhou Yu's second son, Zhou Yin, was slandered again. With the merits of Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, the children are still like this, and others can imagine. A few years ago, Jin Zong, the general of the opera mouth, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and returned to our dynasty. If you can manage carefully and make good use of these contradictions, it will not be difficult to make contributions. ”

Cao Miao turned his head to look at Xiahou Xuan. "Why don't you go? I think you're more suitable than me. ”

Xiahou Xuan smiled but did not answer.

Cao Miao didn't ask any more. The answer to this question is tacitly known, and it doesn't need to be said so bluntly.

"I kind of regret it." Cao Miao smacked her lips. "Can you help me pass on a message?"

"What?"

"I'd like to ask Yinbo to participate in this operation and help me with advice."

Xiahou Xuan thought about it. "I'll play the Son of Heaven."

"There are still some things, so let's arrange them together by the way. No, Zhou Villa, I won't be able to go back for a while, maybe I may not have the opportunity to live in the future, so I gave it to my little sister, you go back and get the deed or something. Also, get Zhong Tai's sister here. ”

Hearing that Cao Miao gave the villa to his little sister Xiahou Yan, Xiahou Xuan was very surprised. However, official business came first, and he didn't care about personal matters for a while. "Jong-tae's sister? She's innocent, how can she ......"

"You want me to do Zhong Xuan, there must be some reason, right?" Cao Miao glared at Xiahou Xuan angrily, and said, "Also, Zhong Miao is not a king. Whether I can handle him, I'm not sure. Even if I do, I won't be able to gain a foothold in Luoyang. I have a plan, you report it to the Son of Heaven and ask him to provide the necessary support. ”

Seeing that Cao Miao was serious, Xiahou Xuan didn't dare to be careless, and nodded again and again. "You say."

Cao Miao looked around to make sure that no one else could hear them, and then explained his plan. As early as receiving the edict and being arranged to be grounded in Luoyang for self-reflection, he guessed the intention of the Son of Heaven. Now with Xiahou Xuanzhi's confirmation, he can also formally put forward a plan to implement Zhong Xuan and absconding Jiangdong together to hide people's eyes.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and when he arrives in Jiangdong, his identity may be exposed at any time. With this reason, he may have one more protection.

Of course, as far as he is concerned, it is better not to go to that step. But he knew very well in his heart that this matter was not entirely up to him, and he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him. He had to make a little more preparation, just in case.

After Xiahou Xuan listened, he stared at Cao Miao and looked at it. "Yunliang, Your Majesty is right, you are the most suitable candidate for Jiangdong in the middle of the line, and you will definitely be able to make miraculous achievements on this trip."

Cao Miao waved her hand angrily. "Less flattery, more pragmatism. If these things can't be done, I'd rather die here than go to Yangzhou. ”
